After talking to 250 young women, between 19 and 21, the study found they want to learn how to communicate and negotiate intimacy issues with men, and they believe their fathers could teach them.

Girls who talk to their dads about sex not only lose their virginity at later ages and have fewer sex partners, both of which are associated with good mental health, but are also more comfortable talking to partners about sex later in life, which is
always good for a relationship's health
